  1. The internet as it exists today just lets us know whats been going on for the last couple thousand years.
  2. There is some dispute as to whether or not the 16 YO FM who was killed by police made the 911 call. The call said there was some armed girls with knives trying to assault someones grandmother. The police arrived 12 minutes after the call. Think about it.
  3. The London tabloids have nothing on FOX, the Murdoch news empire and other far left/right looney-tune websites. Which all goes to Keith's idea of vetting.
  4. Keep in mind that the girl with the knife was acting out of control for quite a while before the cop got there. The people around her had ample opportunity to run away or to distance themselves from her. They didn't. Without statements from EVERYONE. The video can portray the event in a light inconsistent with the totality of events. Otherwise i agree with what you're saying.
  5. The heaviest load goes to those with the broadest shoulders. Who carry the load w/o complaining because leaders lead by example.
  6. Now a agent for truth in religion has died. I've made no secret of the disgust that i have who use religious donations to live lavish lifestyles. “There’s more fraud in the name of God than any other kind of fraud in the world,” he said in the 2013 interview. “That’s just heartbreaking.” Ole Anthony, Scourge of Televangelists, Dies at 82 "After working as a well-paid Republican operative, he gave up a lavish lifestyle to live in poverty as a self-proclaimed Jeremiah, calling out fraud in the name of God. Ole Anthony, a former Air Force intelligence specialist and Texas political operative who found Jesus in 1972, built a following among the down-and-out of east Dallas, and then used that movement to take down a rogue’s gallery of unscrupulous televangelists and faith healers, died on April 16 at a house in Dallas that he shared with several members of his organization, the Trinity Foundation. He was 82. His death was confirmed by Pete Evans, a Trinity member who, like Mr. Anthony, had taken a vow of poverty before acquiring a private investigator’s license, which let him peer deeper into the lifestyles of rich and famous preachers...a man who, like a latter-day Jeremiah, believed it was his job to call out religious scam artists, especially those who had grown wealthy off their congregations.... He specialized in what he called garbology — rooting through dumpsters for evidence of legal or spiritual fraud by televangelists like Robert Tilton, Benny Hinn and W.V. Grant, just three of the more than 300 he went after during his nearly 35-year campaign. He compiled the results in long reports that he fed to reporters, and he made frequent appearances on shows like “Primetime Live” and “Inside Edition.” His work was largely responsible for the implosion of Mr. Tilton’s $80 million-a-year empire and Mr. Grant’s 1996 imprisonment for tax evasion. In 2007, he worked with the U.S. Senate Finance Committee in its own investigation into televangelists."
  7. They view their intelligence like a oil slick, miles wide, microns deep.
  8. "In the year up to March 2016, police in England and Wales only fired seven bullets. (Although these government figures do not include accidental shots, shooting out tires, or killing dangerous or injured animals.)... The Metropolitan Police carried out some 3,300 deployments involving firearms in 2016. They didn't fire a single shot at a suspect. It's a world away from the United States, where cops killed 1,092 people in 2016, according to figures compiled by The Guardian.... Some police have complained that officers are reluctant to sign up for firearms training because they fear being dragged through years of lengthy investigations in the unlikely event they have to use their weapon. "Officers have seen what happens to their colleagues who have had to use lethal force to protect the public," outgoing Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe told reporters earlier this year. "Increasingly, they seem to be portrayed as suspects, based, I can only assume, on an underlying belief that they must have acted in a criminal fashion if someone has died."
  9. FOX propaganda.. Starts at 1:43
  10. As if everyone here doesn't know what drives you. Well most everyone. Fox has Tucker Carlson and SC has its own Tucker.
  11. Yeah, when you don't spend money on education, ignorance and poverty follow. Just too bad your facts don't match your feelings.
  12. It seems as if evangelical Christians are at it again. Peddling anti-science from the pulpit and trying to ship their congregations into the afterlife. "In Pew's latest survey conducted in mid-February, 45 percent of white evangelicals said they definitely or probably would not get vaccinated. That compares with 30 percent of all Americans and 33 percent of Black Christians — Black Protestants, rather" At Pastor Tony Spell's Sunday sermon this week, he preached a different kind of message than usual to his congregants: Don't trust COVID-19 vaccines. "I'll just tell you today, if being anti-mask and anti-vaccine is anti-government, then I'm proud to be anti-government," Spell, who has made a national name for himself protesting COVID-19 rules in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, told Life Tabernacle Church congregants."If you have a 99.6% survival rate, why do you want somebody to contaminate your bloodstream with something that may or may not hurt you?" "evangelicals have even linked coronavirus vaccinations to the “mark of the beast” – a symbol of submission to the Antichrist found in biblical prophecies, Revelation 13:18....As a scholar of religion and society, I know that this skepticism among evangelicals has a background. Suspicion from religious conservatives regarding the COVID-19 vaccine is built on the back of their growing distrust of science, medicine and the global elite. Those who identify as Christian nationalists believe they are God’s chosen people and will be protected from any illness or disease. Christian nationalists tend to place vaccinations within a worldview that generally distrusts science and scientists as a threat to the moral order. This was seen in the response of many on the religious right to guidance on masks and social distancing as well as, now, vaccines....evangelicals are under the mistaken impression that vaccines were developed using fresh fetal tissue and are immensely troubled by that fact." "There are certain sections of the Christian right that believe that they are part of the fight of good vs. evil." The fear among many right-wing evangelicals is that global leaders are making decisions without biblical input and against the will of the Christian God. ... Trump — whose supporters largely see him as a Washington outsider — has used his platform to help perpetuate falsehoods about the coronavirus. He initially called the coronavirus a hoax and has been inconsistent in his messaging about masks — both in his words and actions, repeatedly appearing in large public gatherings without face coverings. He's also, at times, dismissed the deadliness of the virus, saying it will disappear quickly. Trump has long been a skeptic of vaccines"

    Soon the new penta and hepta-Indian mutated variants will be attending a GOP gathering. Yes, god and FOX sure does work in mysterious ways. Perhaps the worry about electoral reforms to discourage democratic district voting will become moot.
  14. It seems as if the reasons for an expansion of the USSC are starting to crystalize. Biden to order bipartisan commission to study Supreme Court expansion
  15. Should properly be called the trump effect. Or possibly the "evangelical effect". "The U.S. Supreme Court's new conservative majority made a U-turn on Thursday, ruling by a 6-3 vote, that a judge need not make a finding of "permanent incorrigibility" before sentencing a juvenile offender to life without parole. It was the first time in almost two decades that the high court has deviated from rules establishing more leniency for juvenile offenders, even those convicted of murder. At the center of the case was Brett Jones, now 31, who was 15 when he stabbed his grandfather to death during a fight about Jones' girlfriend. He was convicted of murder, and a judge sentenced him to life without parole."

    Yeah they may be hurting for some spending cash given their net worth of $4.6 billion US.
  17. For all law enforcement a knife is considered a deadly weapon. In their training another officer is given a practice knife(orange plastic) and they start a training scenario about three yards apart. Usually some talking(yelling) and distractions on the part of the attacker is the preamble. Then the attacker goes for a slash on the throat, head or another area outside a vest. After rushing the uke of course. The entire scenario is used to illustrate that an attacker with a knife can be on an officer in less than two seconds and inflict potentially fatal injuries. The only remedy to prevent a shooting is for the officer to back away to give additional time to react to attack. Where other civilians are close by as in this incident. The safety of bystanders needs to be an utmost consideration. I'm not sure what training there is in Europe for a knife wielding potential assailant.But from the video released the cop reacted directly the way he was likely trained. Its all a terrible waste.

    At Oktoberfest levels of beer i can see everything twice.
  19. Also a hero for change and the oppression of Blacks in America. He was the first activist that got a major corporation to stand up. That being Nike.
  20. LeBron should not have made a threatening comment directed at the police. But he is a leader with integrity. How LeBron James has become a leading voice for social justice in a racially divided nation “LeBron James has consistently positioned himself throughout his career as a leader. He has shown leadership on the court as well as integrity in the community…” "While Jordan has been criticized for purportedly protecting his brand by not speaking up during turbulent racial developments, James has been the opposite. He seemingly has not been afraid of losing endorsements or fans. “It’s hard for me to separate the player and the man,” said Brandon Bagley, an NBA fan and a former track star at the University of Kentucky who lives in Louisville. “His basketball talent facilitates his activism. His word wouldn’t matter as much or reach as far if he were not a great player. But he is willing to risk his status in the eyes of some of the public to stand up for what he believes in."
  21. Rumor has it that he debases himself everywhere and without pay.
  22. "Overall, we rate Electroverse a quackery level Pseudoscience source based on the promotion of misinformation regarding climate change that does not align with the consensus of science." Founded in 2018, Electroverse is a news and opinion website that promotes human-influenced climate change denial. The website completely lacks transparency as there is not an about page, the contact page does not provide the location, the only author named is Cap Allon who does not provide a biography, and ownership is not disclosed.
  23. Gotta hand it to the Saudi's. They persuade the GOP and guys like Brent to buy Saudi oil. To defend it with their lives. To defend its sea lanes.To look the other way when they kill their own dissidents and critics. They generate solar electricity so they can ship more oil to keep the GOP and Brent happy. All while selling the narrative that there is no global warming. Coming soon to America and FOX. Oil and more anti global warming B.S.
